passprt issues

[ladyblue 11]

My fiance is a student and his interview is scheduled for his this month. The school visa is renewed every 6 month. He whet in november to have his visa renewed cuz it expired on 15 . So now they r telling he as to do new approval he has payed all is school fees for one year. His visa expired on 15 of november . The school has his passport. They say they will put a special pass on it but may take two weeeks to get it back. My question is if it not ready b4 his interview can he still do his interview even if he doesnt have a valid visa / or will the special visa pass they wnat to put on there be enough.

thanks in advance for your speedy response

Let me see if I understand this situation. Your fiance is currently in the US with a student visa that expired on the 15th of November and is trying to renew it--correct. He has his K-1 interview in his home country coming up--correct? The school has his passport and will put a new visa in his passport--correct?

He needs his passport to travel back to his home country of Malaysia for his interview. Assuming he passes the interview and receives his K-1 visa he can use that to enter the US and then he has 90 days to marry you. Once married you both file for AOS, AP, and EAD. When he receives his AP or GC he can travel, but is stuck in the US until he receives either the Advance Parole (AP) or Green Card (GC). He will be able to work with the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) or GC also. I would get the passport back from the school so he can travel for his interview. The visa from the school is not needed once he has the K-1. He can enter the US on the K-1. Having both visas is not needed. The US Embassy is going to keep his passport until the put the visa in it if approved. So he will have to wait for the K-1 before getting the passport back in order to travel to the US.

Good luck,

Dave

They need his passport into which they need to insert the K-1 visa. He can go to his interview and if approved he will be given a 221g form which will state to bring back his passport. Once he has it, he brings it to the Embassy and then you wait the normal visa processing time (about a week on average).

Let me clear this up. He is originally from nigeria, he is in Malaysia doing his studies. When he first arrived the did his visa stay one year at a time. now things have changed if you pay for one year of school they stamp the visa every Six months. he last visa expired on 15 of november and the school has not put the new stamp on it. the docotr said they can not do medical withoutthe visa .The school said they can do special pass with can last two weeks. but his interview is this month and if they send it off to put 6 month visa it may not be back b4 his interview. so what im asking can he have his interview with the special pass or does he even need the school visa since he is applying for K-1 visa and when approved( by Gods grace) he will have that K1 visa
